Power Cables and Affects on Timing (and speed)?


I stumbled across an interesting finding (by accident) due to an earlier oversight on my part.

I will post what specifically occurred below.

PLEASE, this is for folks who are in the camp that find cables make a difference.

Have you found / noticed changes (or not) in musical timing due to power cords? If so, can you elaborate?

Thank you.

[Note: I ran a few searches for Timing and cables and did not find a previous thread dealing directly with this topic. There are posts related to PRAT. If you know of a specific / dedicated thread, please post the link. Thanks!]

Well, I certainly think that power cords that are controlled for wire directionality, you know, like the new Audioquest lineup, including Hurricane, will exhibit superior timing, pitch control, tonality, things of that nature.
@folkfreak   Does the same apply to the trailing edge?

@jayctoy  Do you find / feel that 'tonal balance' and timing are related/connected? How so?

@folkfreak @jayctoy @geoffkait   Thank you.
Yes!  Something else I discovered about power cords after having several $3k to $4500 PC’s...sometimes the best mate is free.  After trying all my expensive PC’s on my Krell am I used a free cord I received from my dealer just to experiment.  It was a Sony TV power cord with a small circuit or magnet at the end with silver terminations. Man o man, what a freaking great match!!  Everything about my sound snapped into focus.  Detailed deep taught bass, luscious midrange and a detailed high end with tremendous sounddstaging as well.  Simply amazing what you can find sometimes.
Yes, just as true of the trailing edge. You will need a room that is clear of excessive reflections as this will blur the effect that these sorts of improvements make. In a less optimized system you may get much less impact
